midfield

I'd rather be an idiot capable of contradicting himself, but who applies a measure of critical evaluation than a fool who questions nothing the club does or the performances of the players because "that's just how it is".

Get your point this time...your an idiot....I'd rather be a fan whose willing to give players time to gel, than jumping down their throats, I'd rather be a fan who appreciates the changes the club are making, moving us in the right way..rather than paint some possible worse case scenarios....ALAW..don't make me laugh

OK, simple question. Given you have vastly superior footballing knowledge than I do, and I'm an idiot, can you with all your wisdom please explain the apparent difference between a newly promoted team to the PL who have invested relatively limited funds but have given a stable, relatively long-standing club in that league a real shellacking away fromm home and our squad who over the same period of time still need "time to gel"?

And as for A LAW, yes, quite humorous, in a dark, ironic way.

How about we get this thread back on topic which was a thread about our midfielders. I'll create a separate thread for all the other stuff

[joellufcprice]

Did I make one observation as to where any of the Dudds players came from? No.

Did I suggest Preston were "a team we should beat"?. No

My beef is with a bunch of players who failed in front of a massive home crowd to force the game and make the opposition defence work for their money, past caring where the f00k they were born or played before coming to Leeds. We had vastly superior possession for much of the game, so the boll0x about time wasting just doesn't wash. The tactics were poor, the performances (mostly) were poor and as I suggested when everyone (including me) was being complimentary and positive effect after the Port Vale game, the real tests are against experienced Championship sides and the first time we get tested we fail (and if it hadn't been for a disallowed goal with Wiedwald clueless as to what he should have been doing, we might have come away with nothing).

The phrase "must do better" was never so appropriate in terms of the game against Fulham.

I give up, if you're that quick to write players off there really is no hope anymore. Fact is you praised their transfer policy at Hudds which involves spending low amounts on foreign exports, whether you directly mention their origin is irrelevant, you've highlighted them as a success after they've played one game as if that is some sort of major success. Same as us drawing isn't the end of the world, them winning isn't a indication they've nailed it.

Hopefully we beat Fulham, then we won't see you again until we sign someone who you undoubtedly won't like or we lose and you're writing the entire squad off again. Enjoy, life is too short to engage with this negativity and misery in life on a regular basis.

. Your posts also indicate you believe we should be beating Preston, otherwise they wouldn't be so damning.

Not sure why Bridcutt didn't feature against Preston, especially if we expected a physical battle. Thought he did well against PV when he came on. On Sat we got bossed off the ball far too easily.

So every game Leeds don't win or play in the way you think they should, we're going to have to read your constant arrogant negative drivel.

Does that also now mean every game Huddersfield win we're gonna have to read the same rubbish.

Leeds didn't play well on Saturday, could've lost, could've won but yout level of scrutiny after 1 game is bonkers. God help us if we lose tonight.

Go watch f*cking Eastleigh.

So you "give up", ffs!

I DID NOT "praise their (Dudds) transfer policy". I never referred to any such policy nor the nationality of ANY of their players and to suggest that's irrelevant is just dumb. I suggested we look at what they (club management, coaching staff and players) had done in getting promoted and then getting a team in place that beat an established PL team while playing away from home. And where have I "written off" any new Leeds players (apart from Sacko, hardly new and who I have consistently said shouldn't be wearing the shirt, never mind starting in the 1st team, and Wiedwald, who inspires about as much confidence as a soft banana)?

As for Dudds "being a success" after one game, on its own no, but coupled with having to move up a gear to the PL, then win their first game and away from home, I'd say that's quite successful as far as it goes?

Read my posts on the Bolton and Port Vale matches, congratulating the team and named players, but suggesting "real" Championship teams (contrary to your assertion, including Preston) would be the true test of our potential. I hope we beat Fulham and do so well, but perform like we did Saturday and we won't, you disagree?

[españablanco73]

its a shame, my OP was about our midfield, and the fact we didnt sign a real leader in there as id hoped we would [a glaring hole in our side that was evident last season imo].Because one piece of the jigsaw is missing doesnt mean we have a shighte squad, or that we are doomed in any way. I also pointed out that if you dont beat the sides you should be beating at home, you dont get promoted.Thats fact folks, so if the result left me feeling disappointed, ill hold my hands up.
Dont see where it then goes from this to Negheads vs happy clappers showdown!

I might decide to contribute the occasional post, I might not, irrespective of the results, my choice, just as it's your choice to read and/or respond, yes?

I doubt I'll be making any further comment regarding Dudds, I'm a Leeds supporter after all (no matter what you and other may think or say).

As for watching Eastleigh, yes I will occasionally.
